About POLSA

Polish Space Agency (POLSA) was established by the Act of 26 September 2014. The task of the Agency is to support the Polish space industry by combining the world of business and science. We also help to get provision for entrepreneurs in obtaining funds from the European Space Agency (ESA). An important aspect of the Agency's activity is to promote the development of satellite technology that can be used in everyday life, including communication, navigation, environmental monitoring and weather forecasting.

The priority task of the Polish Space Agency is to take care of the security of the country and its citizens and to increase Polish defense capabilities through the use of satellite systems.

Aspiration of the Agency is that in 2030 Polish space sector will be in selected areas fully competitive on a global scale. We should be able to ensure the independence of Poland in the access and use of satellite data.

Polish Space Agency is responsible for the arrangement and implementation of the Polish National Space Programme. The main objective of the program is to build a system of accurate tools for counseling and financial support for space companies in Poland.
